Abstract
This paper aims to compare the differences between the
“Communicative Approach” and the “Cognitive Approach” to teaching
English prepositions in phrasal verbs in Thailand. The benefits and
limitations of both approaches as identified and analyzed in previously
conducted research both in Thailand and abroad are addressed in this
paper. The author suggests that teachers should apply both the “Communicative Approach” and the “Cognitive Approach” to teaching English
prepositions in phrasal verbs to Thai learners of English. Students can
learn English prepositions in phrasal verbs implicitly through schemas
in their minds and they can practice communicative skills by performing
assigned tasks.
